The Vietnamese government cannot arrest a U.S. citizen if the Vietnamese agents are operating within the United States and want to nab the individual here. In the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, however, a U.S. citizen can be detained. Limits on detention are different for those with diplomatic immunity, but anyone other than a diplomat is subject to the laws of Vietnam. Just like a Vietnamese citizen who is in the U.S. would be subject to American laws. One can be arrested in any country where one happens to be. (There are a few exceptions, such as diplomats, etc). Ordinary people don't enjoy immunity from arrest.

Can a US law enforcement officer arrest a non-citizen of the US for drinking alcohol if they are legal drinking age in their home country?
When present in the US, you are subject to US law, no matter what your citizenship is. There are exceptions for certain diplomatic personnel, but for an aveage citizen, US law applies. A US citizen visiting another country is subject to the laws of THAT country. I am a US citizen, and US law permits me to own and carry a handgun. If I were in a country that did not permit private ownership of handguns, I would be subject to arrest if I carried a handgun there.

Can an undocumented alien parent of a child born in the US remain in the US with it's child?
Merely having a US citizen child gives the parent no legal status- the parent is still an illegal. The parent is still subject to arrest and deportation. The US government can, and does, deport parents of US citizen children. At that point the parent can either give up the child for adoption or take the child with them to their native country.
What would racial profiling citizen's arrest be?
(in the US) There is no such criminal charge as 'racial profiling.' There is no authority for a citizen to exercise a citizens arrest for any charge other than a felony offense... and even then, they had better be specifically aware of the laws of their particular state.
Can a private investigator arrest someone?
I am not sure where you are located however, in Canada there is a section in the Criminal Code (s.494) that allows any citizen to arrest without warrant, any person they FIND COMMITTING an indictable offence. For purposes of arrest a Hybrid or Duel offence is considered indictable. I believe the US has a similar citizen's arrest law. Regardless of being a P.I. or not the investigator is still a citizen and this would apply to him or her.
